Mammillaria mercadensis is a species of flowering plant in the cactus family (Cactaceae), native to north and west Mexico.[2]
Taxonomy
The species was first described by Carlos Patoni in 1910.[3] It has attracted a large number of synonyms.[2]
Distribution and habitat
Mammillaria mercadensis is native to the northern and western Mexican states of Michoacán, Durango, Sinaloa, Jalisco, Aguascalientes, and San Luis Potosí.[1] It grows among volcanic rocks in desert or semi-desert habitats such as dry shrubland at elevations of 1,800–2,400 m (5,900–7,900 ft).[1][2]
Conservation
Mammillaria mercadensis has been assessed as "least concern" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2017.[1] Some species regarded as synonymous with Mammillaria mercadensis by Plants of the World Online have been assessed differently. Mammillaria berkiana was assessed as "vulnerable" in 2009.[4] Mammillaria rettigiana was assessed as "endangered" in 2009.[5] Mammillaria guillauminiana was treated as "data deficient" in 2013, partly because of uncertainty as to its relationship with Mammillaria mercadensis.[6]
